<h2>25.1.1. Tkinter Modules<a class="headerlink" href="#tkinter-modules" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h2>
<p>Most of the time, <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> is all you really need, but a number of
additional modules are available as well.  The Tk interface is located in a
binary module named <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_tkinter</span></code>. This module contains the low-level
interface to Tk, and should never be used directly by application programmers.
It is usually a shared library (or DLL), but might in some cases be statically
linked with the Python interpreter.</p>
<p>In addition to the Tk interface module, <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> includes a number of
Python modules, <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter.constants</span></code> being one of the most important.
Importing <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> will automatically import <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter.constants</span></code>,
so, usually, to use Tkinter all you need is a simple import statement:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">tkinter</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or, more often:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">tkinter</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="o">*</span>
</pre></div>

<dd><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.Tk" title="tkinter.Tk"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tk</span></code></a> class is instantiated without arguments. This creates a toplevel

<dd><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.Tcl" title="tkinter.Tcl"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tcl()</span></code></a> function is a factory function which creates an object much like

subsystem.  This is most often useful when driving the Tcl interpreter in an
environment where one doesn't want to create extraneous toplevel windows, or
where one cannot (such as Unix/Linux systems without an X server).  An object
created by the <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.Tcl" title="tkinter.Tcl"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tcl()</span></code></a> object can have a Toplevel window created (and the Tk

<h2>25.1.2. Tkinter Life Preserver<a class="headerlink" href="#tkinter-life-preserver" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h2>
<p>This section is not designed to be an exhaustive tutorial on either Tk or
Tkinter.  Rather, it is intended as a stop gap, providing some introductory
orientation on the system.</p>
<p>Credits:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Tk was written by John Ousterhout while at Berkeley.</li>
<li>Tkinter was written by Steen Lumholt and Guido van Rossum.</li>
<li>This Life Preserver was written by Matt Conway at the University of Virginia.</li>
<li>The HTML rendering, and some liberal editing, was produced from a FrameMaker
version by Ken Manheimer.</li>
<li>Fredrik Lundh elaborated and revised the class interface descriptions, to get
them current with Tk 4.2.</li>
<li>Mike Clarkson converted the documentation to LaTeX, and compiled the  User
Interface chapter of the reference manual.</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="how-to-use-this-section">
<h3>25.1.2.1. How To Use This Section<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-use-this-section" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h3>
<p>This section is designed in two parts: the first half (roughly) covers
background material, while the second half can be taken to the keyboard as a
handy reference.</p>
<p>When trying to answer questions of the form &quot;how do I do blah&quot;, it is often best
to find out how to do &quot;blah&quot; in straight Tk, and then convert this back into the
corresponding <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> call. Python programmers can often guess at the
correct Python command by looking at the Tk documentation. This means that in
order to use Tkinter, you will have to know a little bit about Tk. This document
can't fulfill that role, so the best we can do is point you to the best
documentation that exists. Here are some hints:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The authors strongly suggest getting a copy of the Tk man pages.
Specifically, the man pages in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">manN</span></code> directory are most useful.
The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">man3</span></code> man pages describe the C interface to the Tk library and thus
are not especially helpful for script writers.</li>
<li>Addison-Wesley publishes a book called Tcl and the Tk Toolkit by John
Ousterhout (ISBN 0-201-63337-X) which is a good introduction to Tcl and Tk for
the novice.  The book is not exhaustive, and for many details it defers to the
man pages.</li>
<li><code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter/__init__.py</span></code> is a last resort for most, but can be a good
place to go when nothing else makes sense.</li>

<h2>25.1.3. A (Very) Quick Look at Tcl/Tk<a class="headerlink" href="#a-very-quick-look-at-tcl-tk" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h2>
<p>The class hierarchy looks complicated, but in actual practice, application
programmers almost always refer to the classes at the very bottom of the
hierarchy.</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>These classes are provided for the purposes of organizing certain functions
under one namespace. They aren't meant to be instantiated independently.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.Tk" title="tkinter.Tk"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tk</span></code></a> class is meant to be instantiated only once in an application.
Application programmers need not instantiate one explicitly, the system creates
one whenever any of the other classes are instantiated.</li>
<li>The <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Widget</span></code> class is not meant to be instantiated, it is meant only
for subclassing to make &quot;real&quot; widgets (in C++, this is called an 'abstract
class').</li>
</ul>
<p>To make use of this reference material, there will be times when you will need
to know how to read short passages of Tk and how to identify the various parts
of a Tk command.   (See section <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter-basic-mapping"><span class="std std-ref">Mapping Basic Tk into Tkinter</span></a> for the
<a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> equivalents of what's below.)</p>
<p>Tk scripts are Tcl programs.  Like all Tcl programs, Tk scripts are just lists
of tokens separated by spaces.  A Tk widget is just its <em>class</em>, the <em>options</em>
that help configure it, and the <em>actions</em> that make it do useful things.</p>
<p>To make a widget in Tk, the command is always of the form:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">classCommand</span> <span class="n">newPathname</span> <span class="n">options</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><em>classCommand</em></dt>
<dd>denotes which kind of widget to make (a button, a label, a menu...)</dd>
<dt><em>newPathname</em></dt>
<dd>is the new name for this widget.  All names in Tk must be unique.  To help
enforce this, widgets in Tk are named with <em>pathnames</em>, just like files in a
file system.  The top level widget, the <em>root</em>, is called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.</span></code> (period) and
children are delimited by more periods.  For example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.myApp.controlPanel.okButton</span></code> might be the name of a widget.</dd>
<dt><em>options</em></dt>
<dd>configure the widget's appearance and in some cases, its behavior.  The options
come in the form of a list of flags and values. Flags are preceded by a '-',
like Unix shell command flags, and values are put in quotes if they are more
than one word.</dd>
</dl>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">button</span>   <span class="o">.</span><span class="n">fred</span>   <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">fg</span> <span class="n">red</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">text</span> <span class="s2">&quot;hi there&quot;</span>
   <span class="o">^</span>       <span class="o">^</span>     \<span class="n">______________________</span><span class="o">/</span>
   <span class="o">|</span>       <span class="o">|</span>                <span class="o">|</span>
 <span class="k">class</span>    <span class="nc">new</span>            <span class="n">options</span>
<span class="n">command</span>  <span class="n">widget</span>  <span class="p">(</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">opt</span> <span class="n">val</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">opt</span> <span class="n">val</span> <span class="o">...</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Once created, the pathname to the widget becomes a new command.  This new
<em>widget command</em> is the programmer's handle for getting the new widget to
perform some <em>action</em>.  In C, you'd express this as someAction(fred,
someOptions), in C++, you would express this as fred.someAction(someOptions),
and in Tk, you say:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">fred</span> <span class="n">someAction</span> <span class="n">someOptions</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note that the object name, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.fred</span></code>, starts with a dot.</p>
<p>As you'd expect, the legal values for <em>someAction</em> will depend on the widget's
class: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.fred</span> <span class="pre">disable</span></code> works if fred is a button (fred gets greyed out), but
does not work if fred is a label (disabling of labels is not supported in Tk).</p>
<p>The legal values of <em>someOptions</em> is action dependent.  Some actions, like
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">disable</span></code>, require no arguments, others, like a text-entry box's <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">delete</span></code>
command, would need arguments to specify what range of text to delete.</p>

<p>In Tk, to perform an action on a widget, use the widget name as a command, and
follow it with an action name, possibly with arguments (options).  In Tkinter,
you call methods on the class instance to invoke actions on the widget.  The
actions (methods) that a given widget can perform are listed in
<code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter/__init__.py</span></code>.</p>

<p>To give a widget to the packer (geometry manager), you call pack with optional

<p>For a complete explanation of a given option and its behavior, see the Tk man
pages for the widget in question.</p>
<p>Note that the man pages list &quot;STANDARD OPTIONS&quot; and &quot;WIDGET SPECIFIC OPTIONS&quot;
for each widget.  The former is a list of options that are common to many
widgets, the latter are the options that are idiosyncratic to that particular
widget.  The Standard Options are documented on the <em class="manpage">options(3)</em> man
page.</p>
<p>No distinction between standard and widget-specific options is made in this
document.  Some options don't apply to some kinds of widgets. Whether a given
widget responds to a particular option depends on the class of the widget;
buttons have a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">command</span></code> option, labels do not.</p>
<p>The options supported by a given widget are listed in that widget's man page, or
can be queried at runtime by calling the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config()</span></code> method without
arguments, or by calling the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">keys()</span></code> method on that widget.  The return
value of these calls is a dictionary whose key is the name of the option as a
string (for example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'relief'</span></code>) and whose values are 5-tuples.</p>
<p>Some options, like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bg</span></code> are synonyms for common options with long names
(<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bg</span></code> is shorthand for &quot;background&quot;). Passing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config()</span></code> method the name
of a shorthand option will return a 2-tuple, not 5-tuple. The 2-tuple passed
back will contain the name of the synonym and the &quot;real&quot; option (such as
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">('bg',</span> <span class="pre">'background')</span></code>).</p>

<h3>25.1.6.2. The Packer<a class="headerlink" href="#the-packer" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h3>
<p id="index-0">The packer is one of Tk's geometry-management mechanisms.    Geometry managers
are used to specify the relative positioning of the positioning of widgets
within their container - their mutual <em>master</em>.  In contrast to the more
cumbersome <em>placer</em> (which is used less commonly, and we do not cover here), the
packer takes qualitative relationship specification - <em>above</em>, <em>to the left of</em>,
<em>filling</em>, etc - and works everything out to determine the exact placement
coordinates for you.</p>
<p>The size of any <em>master</em> widget is determined by the size of the &quot;slave widgets&quot;
inside.  The packer is used to control where slave widgets appear inside the
master into which they are packed.  You can pack widgets into frames, and frames
into other frames, in order to achieve the kind of layout you desire.
Additionally, the arrangement is dynamically adjusted to accommodate incremental
changes to the configuration, once it is packed.</p>
<p>Note that widgets do not appear until they have had their geometry specified
with a geometry manager.  It's a common early mistake to leave out the geometry
specification, and then be surprised when the widget is created but nothing
appears.  A widget will appear only after it has had, for example, the packer's
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pack()</span></code> method applied to it.</p>
<p>The pack() method can be called with keyword-option/value pairs that control
where the widget is to appear within its container, and how it is to behave when
the main application window is resized.  Here are some examples:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">fred</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">pack</span><span class="p">()</span>                     <span class="c1"># defaults to side = &quot;top&quot;</span>

<h3>25.1.6.4. Coupling Widget Variables<a class="headerlink" href="#coupling-widget-variables" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h3>
<p>The current-value setting of some widgets (like text entry widgets) can be
connected directly to application variables by using special options.  These
options are <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">variable</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">textvariable</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">onvalue</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">offvalue</span></code>, and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">value</span></code>.  This connection works both ways: if the variable changes for any
reason, the widget it's connected to will be updated to reflect the new value.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in the current implementation of <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a> it is not
possible to hand over an arbitrary Python variable to a widget through a
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">variable</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">textvariable</span></code> option.  The only kinds of variables for which
this works are variables that are subclassed from a class called Variable,
defined in <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>There are many useful subclasses of Variable already defined:
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">StringVar</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IntVar</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DoubleVar</span></code>, and
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BooleanVar</span></code>.  To read the current value of such a variable, call the
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get()</span></code> method on it, and to change its value you call the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set()</span></code>
method.  If you follow this protocol, the widget will always track the value of
the variable, with no further intervention on your part.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">App</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Frame</span><span class="p">):</span>

<h3>25.1.6.5. The Window Manager<a class="headerlink" href="#the-window-manager" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h3>
<p id="index-1">In Tk, there is a utility command, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">wm</span></code>, for interacting with the window
manager.  Options to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">wm</span></code> command allow you to control things like titles,
placement, icon bitmaps, and the like.  In <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter" title="tkinter: Interface to Tcl/Tk for graphical user interfaces"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter</span></code></a>, these commands have
been implemented as methods on the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Wm</span></code> class.  Toplevel widgets are
subclassed from the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Wm</span></code> class, and so can call the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Wm</span></code> methods
directly.</p>
<p>To get at the toplevel window that contains a given widget, you can often just
refer to the widget's master.  Of course if the widget has been packed inside of
a frame, the master won't represent a toplevel window.  To get at the toplevel
window that contains an arbitrary widget, you can call the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_root()</span></code> method.
This method begins with an underscore to denote the fact that this function is
part of the implementation, and not an interface to Tk functionality.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of typical usage:</p>

See page 179 of Ousterhout's book.</dd>
<dt>distance</dt>
<dd>Screen distances can be specified in either pixels or absolute distances.
Pixels are given as numbers and absolute distances as strings, with the trailing

<dt>font</dt>
<dd>Tk uses a list font name format, such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{courier</span> <span class="pre">10</span> <span class="pre">bold}</span></code>. Font sizes with
positive numbers are measured in points; sizes with negative numbers are

<dt>geometry</dt>
<dd>This is a string of the form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">widthxheight</span></code>, where width and height are
measured in pixels for most widgets (in characters for widgets displaying text).
For example: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fred[&quot;geometry&quot;]</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">&quot;200x100&quot;</span></code>.</dd>

<dt>region</dt>
<dd>This is a string with four space-delimited elements, each of which is a legal

<h3>25.1.6.7. Bindings and Events<a class="headerlink" href="#bindings-and-events" title="永久链接至标题">¶</a></h3>
<p id="index-3">The bind method from the widget command allows you to watch for certain events
and to have a callback function trigger when that event type occurs.  The form
of the bind method is:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>sequence</dt>
<dd>is a string that denotes the target kind of event.  (See the bind man page and
page 201 of John Ousterhout's book for details).</dd>
<dt>func</dt>
<dd>is a Python function, taking one argument, to be invoked when the event occurs.
An Event instance will be passed as the argument. (Functions deployed this way
are commonly known as <em>callbacks</em>.)</dd>
<dt>add</dt>
<dd>is optional, either <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">''</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'+'</span></code>.  Passing an empty string denotes that
this binding is to replace any other bindings that this event is associated
with.  Passing a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'+'</span></code> means that this function is to be added to the list
of functions bound to this event type.</dd>
</dl>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">turn_red</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">event</span><span class="p">):</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Notice how the widget field of the event is being accessed in the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">turn_red()</span></code> callback.  This field contains the widget that caught the X
